Two of the victims were severely burned in the fire and have yet to be officially identified.
Among the victims were 13-year-old Latrisha Fields-Carruthers and 18-year-old Zakiyyah Jones. Both died from gunshot wounds at University Hospital.

The Essex County Sheriff's Office is offering a $10,000 reward in the search for the killer.
